This didn't make it onto FR, and I just stumbled across it. Please spread the word.

I'd wondered why they didn't have a fund raiser to bring in the funds they need for the elevator or chair lift that was needed at the original location.

VETERANS
O'Brien's Creates Charity
The owners of Fran O'Brien's Stadium Steakhouse in Northwest Washington have created a charity to help fund the Friday night steak dinners they hold for wounded soldiers from Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
Organizers and veterans are trying to find a place to keep the dinners going while the restaurant's owners look for a place to reopen.
Donations can be sent to:
Aleethia Foundation Inc.
C/O Fran O'Brien's Steakhouse
1001 16th St. NW
Washington, D.C. 20036.

Forgot to tell you I got a nice email from the hotel management the other day...saying that they were working on something to continue the dinner.

The way I read this is: Fran O'Brien's is getting kicked out of the Hilton which will cost them a fortune, especially since it is on such short notice, so they are taking up a collection to keep the dinners going until they can relocate. What a contrast to what Hilton is doing (nothing).
Thanks for pinging me to the other thread.
